How many times do you want me to apologize? Or will my OS get banned?

[eclectic]

Finally, a smart move by the Europeans. It seems not all hope is lost

[vpintheak]

I thought this was real for a second.

EU hates Microsoft so called monopoly... but yet they are enable it? ludicrous!

[Echo Talon]

DOH! ::blush::: just read the rest of it :D

The religion of Mac strikes back.

Hummm, good point about them and the Microsoft Monolopy. Did I see something about them trying milk them of some serious money because of there monolopy??? Last time I looked it wasnt the goverments position to tell me what software I have to use in my computer.....

[Little_shoe]

P.S. This Smacks to me of Big Brother.... They have already started to rewrite histry that they dont like....i.e the Holocaust

[Echo Talon]

I not sure but i know the EU sued Microsoft about something recently.

[jb6]

Yeah me too, until about the third paragraph, it went down hill from there on. But with those socialists in the EU, you never know. ;)

"no-one in the EU parliment can get a decent expenses package to wwork on them."

Ahhh, so that's how they get away with embezzling money from the public purse, blame it on their Macs!

That's because you don't live in Europe.

Did the US Government not take Microsoft to court as well?
Something about excessive monopoly?

Didn't that suit claim that MS "forced" manufacturers to install all or nothing?

[kingsurfer]

Something like that. I think it was quite similar to the EU claims. I think most governments would like to get their hands on some of that Microsoft money.

[raybbr]

I swear it's true!!!

Its a good thing they haven't focused on Linux yet, huh? If they did, the "logical" conclusion of this initiative would be to ban any computer which didn't have Windows preloaded.
